How Bury College provides ESOL learners with an introduction to life in the UK
ESOL (English as a Second Language) learners from our Step Up to Prospects course recently celebrated their achievements over the last year.
Please find below a table which explains the points system at Bury College University Centre. The table shows the points that you will earn for each grade you achieve:
Grade | A Levels | AS Levels | BTEC Level 3 Diploma | BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma | T Levels |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A* | 56 | - | D*D104 D*D* 112 | D*D*D* 168 | D* 168 |
A | 48 | 20 | D*D 104 | D*D*D 160 | D 144 |
B | 40 | 16 | DD 96 | D*DD 152 | M 120 |
C | 32 | 12 | DM 80 | DMM 112 | Pass (C or above on the core) 96 |
D | 24 | 10 | MP 48 | MPP 64 | Pass (D or E on the core) 72 |
E | 16 | 6 | PP 3 | PPP 48 |
D = Distinction M = Merit P = Pass
For example 112 points can be achieved either from A-level grades BBC or BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma grades DMM. Where course entry requirements state ‘64 points from at least one but preferably two A-levels’ this means you are not able to apply for this qualification using only AS grades.
Please note if you do not have these formal qualifications you are welcome to apply, as other qualifications, experience and personal qualities can be taken into account.
If English is not your first language you will also need IELTS 6.0.
